"Out of the night that covers me, black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever Gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the Horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

INVICTUS, -William Ernest Henley

Hail and Welcome

MERLINRAVENSONG.COM: Your Guide to Witchcraft, and the Occult on the web.

Greetings Mortals,

For those of you who do not know me personally I'm MerlinRavenSong. I'm a African American Postmodern Witch and Progressive Rock Musician living in the Metropolitan Detroit area. I read tarot cards professionally along with teaching guitar at my home studio. I'm a member of several well known occult organizations; some of which are known while others remain private. I'm best known for running and occult student organization called Full Moon Circle (FMC) while I attended Wayne State University (WSU). Full Moon Circle started out as a student organization on the campus of WSU but soon grew far beyond that. When I ran FULL MOON CIRCLE we were one of Michigan's longest running occult student organizations. Now since I'm no longer in college and no longer running FMC I've decided to use this page as a community driven resource for those of you who have a genuine interest in the occult. It is my goal to provide everyone with as much information and networking tools as possible when they come to this website.

MERLINRAVENSONG.COM is an online networking tool dedicated to presenting the truth behind modern Witchcraft, and the Occult within society today. This website concentrates on educating those interested in the study of the paranormal and the occult. If you wish to know more about myself feel free to join my Yahoo group 'Call of the Black Footed Crow'. This yahoo group operates much like an open forum where all are invited to share ideas concerning various topics covered here on this website and on the many social networks I'm on. I feel it's my duty to share with others the philosophies within this page and to hopefully dispel many of the lies that have been told about our kind through awareness, education and diligence. I aim to establish a active network here which will focus on growth and add yet another valuable piece of culture to this richly diverse community. Please note that I'm a serious occultists and I'm NOT an occultnic. I'm interested in research which will once again bridge the gap between mans divided nature as opposed to spiritual pipe dreams that lead nowhere. I look forward to a time when science and magick are once again linked together the way it once was in ancient times. I believe that science is slowly beginning to understand that the world of the Supernormal is real and it is not rooted in superstition. I therefore firmly believe that it is only a matter of time before the skeptics will have to admit this and when they do we will be at the forefront of that discovery (or rediscovery). This page and it's related pages are not about exploring the Supernatural it is about exploring the SUPER-NORMAL. The exploration of the Supernormal has to do with the exploration of human potential which goes beyond the normal or natural powers inherent in us all. We all have this power it's just a matter of tapping into it.

In regards to The Craft I consider myself to be Pre-Gardenian and have a more earthy approach to it's belief structure. I trace my roots back to the legendary Witch of Endor and the classic Witches of old who were the true Shamans and Sorcerers and philosophers in their time. My brand of Witchcraft goes further back than the revival of modern day Witchcraft which happened in the 1950's. I embrace the Classical form of Witchcraft that is in no way a component of the New Age movement whatsoever.

Because of the controversial nature of my beliefs (and this is by no means unique to myself) I'm fully aware of the fact that many people have a warped idea about Witchcraft and what the Supernormal truly is. I'm not here to cater to occultnics and spell beggars who run rampant on the web, if that is what you have come to this website for please feel free to leave. I'm serious about my beliefs in the occult and I support others like myself who study it scientifically in an effort to uncover its deeper mysteries and hidden truths. My interest in the occult is NOT based on new age belief systems, I instead applaud the research of people like Lawrence LeShaun, Dean Radin, Lynne McTaggart, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ingo Swan. Although these people are not Witches they are in fact individuals who have shown repeatedly that telepathy, Precognition, calrevoince, and Mind Matter Interaction are real and I support their efforts in discovering the truth about the Supernormal powers we all have. I feel we will eventually unlock the door that will lead us in truly understanding the secrets that make up the building blocks of the occult and the Supernormal really are.

Please note that if you join my e-group I expect everyone to act like mature adults, I do not tolerate rudeness of any kind. My E-group *Call of the Black Footed Crow* does not cater to white-lighters, occultnics, or fundamentalists of any kind and I personally consider them as being nothing more than sheep in wolves clothing. These people still cling to the superstitions of the past which I view as irrelevant, sanctimonious gobley gook. If and when they attempt to crash my Yahoo group or my Facebook group they will be blocked, deleted and reported. Also note that I make NO apologies for my religious beliefs. I feel that there are far too many people out there who claim to be occultists and still cling to their Xian world view, which goes against the laws of nature, which I follow. Unlike others I embrace the legendary Green Faced Witch the same way Shawn Poirier (R.I.P) did. The GREEN FACED WITCH, THE CRONE, and the DARK MOTHER are symbols of individuality and uniqueness. I proudly place my alter in THE WEST with the symbol of Baphoment an invite the spirits of my ancestors to commune in defiance of the white-lighters who still fear the dark and sleep with the light on.

This website is your portal to witchcraft and the occult here on the web. It will include all branches of the occult. WITCHCRAFT IS A SPICY RELIGION with as many pathways as there are stars in the heavens. It should NOT be taught in a way that's watered down to make it more acceptable to people who call themselves Witches but are still Xian and follow the Right Hand Path. My brand of Witchcraft is NOT a subset of the new age movement, which tends to dumb down eastern philosophy in hopes that it will be more appealing to westerners seeking to enlighten themselves. I believe in JUSTICE NOT KARMA and I'm not ashamed of my postmodern approach to The Craft. I do not worship nature I have a deep respect for it and live by it's laws. The God and The Goddess are the regenerative forces in nature itself. What people call god I call the hidden balancing force in nature which the Egyptians called MAAT, AMON, they are the Neteru that expresses itself in the world around us. As I stated earlier I'm NOT a occultnic I take a very pragmatic approach to everything I do and that specifically applies to The Craft. So if you are looking for a new age white-light oriented website that will only focus on teaching you spells to find a new lover or to get out of a financial bind you may want to look somewhere else.

I look forward to networking with others in Michigan and around the globe. I'm always looking to create a flourishing network of support, information and assistance for those who share my interests in magick and the occult. If you have an organization, website or service that you feel is compatible with the philosophy presented on this page and wish to network feel free to contact me.

For any additional information you need regarding this website and myself (MerlinRavenSong) I ask again that you join my Yahoo Group 'Call of the Blackfooted Crow'. I also have a private group on Facebook. For those of you who wish to join this group leave me a message on Facebook and I will add you on.
I no longer use the P.O Box at WSU I'm currently looking to open up a new P.O Box at another location so for the time being I can only be contacted online.

For those of you who have any questions regarding myself feel free to leave a message in my Facebook Fan Page and I will send you a reply. If your on MySpace I can be reached at this address (http://myspace.com/merlinravensong). You can also contact me by any of the social networks I'm on. I have them listed on the sidebar for those of you who wish contact me. Note: Tripod no longer has a guestbook page. Please view the video below regarding this.
